Interim Priest-in Charge ROTTINGDEAN

0.5 Interim Priest-in-Charge of Rottingdean

(Deanery of Brighton)

The Bishop is seeking to appoint a new vicar to the lovely seaside village of Rottingdean, a couple of miles to the east of Brighton and a single parish benefice. The church is at the heart of the village, it has been beautifully reordered, and the opportunities for an energetic priest working with this willing and committed congregation are considerable.

Possible pastoral reorganisation is at an early stage of exploration.

• Have a cheerful faith
• Be able to develop the gifts of the laity and share ministry
• Be a teacher and encourager of faith
• Be able to connect village life with the Kingdom of God
• Animate traditional worship and innovate contemporary worship
• Develop fruitful relations with the church school
• Be comfortable in an inclusive church culture

All appointments are subject to acceptable pre-appointment checks, including a satisfactory Enhanced DBS Check and completion of the Church of England Confidential Declaration Form.

The Diocese of Chichester is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.
